INTRODUCTION
The tombstone inscriptions for the cemetery below are the same as those
contained in the book "Madison County Florida Cemeteries" authored by Joseph T.
Eichelberger (Privately Published: J. T. Burval, Charleston, WV (1990)). In some
cases, additions and corrections have been made. They are digitally reproduced
here to make this information available to the USGenWeb Project Archives.
Mr. Eichelberger surveyed all the cemeteries of Madison County, Florida known to
him over an eight year period from about 1985 to 1993. In most cases, the date
of the survey, as well as, the date of his second survey used to verify his data
is included at the end of the listing.
The reader will note the detail that Mr. Eichelberger has used to record the
inscriptions in this work. This work is more than a listing of names and dates.
It is the next best thing to actually seeing the gravesite in person. Its
content shows the author's obvious extraordinary effort to preserve what he
called the "flavor" of the tombstone by recording full inscriptions. His work
includes misspellings, error notation and describing the marker's location so it
can be found by the reader. Often a description of the tombstone, especially if
it was unusual or damaged is included. A truly outstanding work, which will
serve to preserve our heritage.
Mr. Eichelberger very concisely and modestly explained his work in part as
follows:
"This project has been a one-man effort. As a result the readings and the
typing have not been checked by a second party. To make matters worse, the
elapsed time between reading the tombstones and typing the listing from notes
has been rather great. Reading old notes written hurriedly in the field can be
a trying experience, especially if the writer's handwriting isn't too neat."
"An effort was made to preserve the "flavor" of the inscriptions by
retaining misspellings and errors. In general, no attempt was made to correct
any data, but occasionally observations have been inserted. These are in square
brackets [] except where no confusion should result. It is hoped that few
errors have been introduced in recording and typing the data, but surely some
have been."
It is a pleasure to donate this work to the USGenWeb Project Archives to
make this very valuable information available to all researchers interested in
Madison County.
